As we are preparing to install some 5 ghz rooftop nodes, at tonight's
meeting we decided to buy some essentials.
We bought:
* 4x nanobridge m5 routers (two large versions, two small versions)
* 2x nanostation m5 routers
* 3x new batteries for our makita drill and impact driver
* 1000 feet of high quality shielded, UV and rain protected cat5e cable
* 100 shielded rj45 connectors for the cable
Total cost was about $970 including tax and shipping.
After this purchase sudo mesh has a remaining balance of about $2600
We are considering starting a recurring sunday installation day where we
install at least one new node every sunday. More info on this next week. We
still do not have our street-level node firmware finalized but the rooftop
links are much simpler so we are going to start rolling those out very very
soon.
